Baldwin Lake, a seventy acre Michigan lake, is located in the town of Greenville in Montcalm County. A picturesque bridge covers a stream that connects Baldwin Lake and nearby Manoka Lake.
There is a small local park on the west side of the lake. Baldwin Lake Road encircles the lake and most of the homes and cottages are across the street from the lakefront.
After finding the postcard posted above, I just had to make a trip to the site to see how things had changed. I found that some things change, but the beauty of Michigan remains the same.
